This has been linked to several severe diseases: osteoporosis, osteomalacia, cardiovascular diseases, complications in pregnancy, diabetes, depression, autoimmune diseases, flu, infectious diseases and more.

Measuring range 10-100 ng/mL Accuracy > 90% CONTENT 1 test cassette 1 vial with dropper containing the diluent 2 sterile lancets 1 pipette for blood sampling 1 cleanser gauze 1 comparative card instructions for use USE PROCEDURE Draw a blood sample using the sterile lancet provided; Collect the sample indicated by the black line, using the capillary pipette provided; Deposit the collected sample inside the well (S) indicated on the cassette; Add 2 drops of diluent and wait 10 minutes before reading the result, comparing the lines obtained with the card provided. RESULTS INTERPRETATION Excessive (> 100 ng/mL) no clear lines appear at the test line region (T). You need to consult your doctor. Sufficient (30-100 ng/mL) the intensity of the test line (T) is equal to or less than that of the 30 ng/mL displayed on the color card. Insufficient (30-10 ng/mL) the intensity of the test line (T) is darker than the 30 ng/mL line and lighter than the 10 ng/mL line displayed on the color card. Deficit (0-10 ng/mL) the intensity of the test line (T) is equal to or darker than the 10 ng/mL line displayed on the color card. You need to consult your doct
